Show Notes

The Atlanta City Council approved a $2.75 billion budget for Fiscal Year 2025. The budget goes into effect on July 1. It was approved as Atlanta is dealing with a water crisis that disrupted service for thousands of residents and businesses. Atlanta City Council President Doug Shipman discusses the budget and the city’s response to the ongoing water outage.

 

Plus, at the start of this year, more than 10,000 children and teens are involved in Georgia's juvenile justice system. Chad Houser, the founder and CEO of Café Momentum, explains how he’s using the art of cooking to create a more positive trajectory for the lives of young people, like Tristyn Williams, an ambassador for the café.
